~ Book Recommendations ~
The book resources have been compiled from several
different resource. There are books that have picked up my spirits during
times I was feeling down or coping with loss. There are books that have
been helpful in the creation of Journey of Hearts that have been used for
as scientific or medical references or for inspirational quotes. Many are
books that I have recommended to friends or patients when they are dealing
with a loss. Some have been suggested by friends, colleagues and visitors
to the site that have been helpful to them, especially when dealing with
the grief response to a loss. Some are classic resources for grief and
loss. Others have been recommended by instructors of the various post-graduate
courses I have taken on the topics of grief, loss, bereavement and trauma.
These various sources have been complied into our list of recommendations.

Our Association with Amazon.com
Journey of Hearts has aligned with Amazon.com
to allow visitors to this site who would like recommendations for books
that may help a bereaved friend, colleague, grieving child or family member
cope with a loss. This association also allows visitors interested in becoming
better educated on these topics to order and read recommended book resources
from home.
Support Journey of HeartsTM
Since starting the site in September 1997 Journey
of Hearts has been financially and technically maintained by Dr. Kirsti
A. Dyer and Mr. Cole D. Thompson, donating the operating costs as well
an estimated 4,000+ hours to complete and maintain the site.
Any income generated from the sales of books on
this site will only be used to maintain, sustain, expand and promote the
Journey of Hearts website. Therefore, we encourage visitors who are those
interested in ordering books online from Amazon.com to do so through our
site and support Journey of Hearts. In doing so this site will receive
a small portion of the sales.
We hope to continue providing Journey of Hearts
as a freely available resource on the Internet. However, the Journey of
Hearts website costs several hundreds of dollars a year to make the information
available on the Internet and maintain the information. In the aftermath
of the September 11th tragedy, we experienced an increased demand on our
server, necessitating a temporary upgrade to meet this demand requiring
a fee 5 x's our normal montly hosting costs. This was a cost we were able to meet on a short term basis, but one that
might cause us to close down the site in the long run.
Recommend a Book
We are interested in knowing about other books
that have been helpful for people dealing with loss, and new resource or
reference books. E-mail
us with information on the book, title, author, and a "review"
of the book, how it helped, what it provided, so we can take a look and
possibly add the book to the Journey of Hearts Book Resources.
To acquire the habit of
reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all of the miseries
of life.
W. Somerset Maugham
Ignorance
is not bliss. Knowledge returns a sense of control over seemingly random
occurances.
